Which animals on this list are genetically engineered with human DNA? ________, _________

Hmmm...no right answer here: Why do you think that many of the first cloned animals have names?

The Cloning Academy Awards: Can you think of any movies that center around cloning, or are based around DNA in some way? (think, think, think...be creative!) If so, what is the 'take-home message' of that movie?

Dolly was a clone of a 6-year old sheep, but she was not an exact replica of her 'nuclear donor' twin at the cellular level. Why? Why isn't Cc of an exact replica of Rainbow, her genetic donor twin? Why is Prometia truly a genetic twin of the horse she was cloned from?

Do you think that if we were ever able to clone Albert Einstein, a brilliant physicist, we would end up with another brilliant physicist? Why or why not?
